The Roku Channel has expanded its free lineup with six new dedicated channels now available on Roku TVs and Roku streaming players. The additions are live immediately and bring more classic TV, reality competition, niche entertainment, and Spanish-language programming to viewers looking for ad-supported options.
Channel 313 now carries Rawhide, the black-and-white Western series set on cattle drives across the American frontier. Channel 314 features The Beverly Hillbillies, while channel 624 adds Ink Master for viewers interested in tattoo competition. Channel 815 brings in Toso. o, and channel 978 introduces MTV en Español, widening the mix on The Roku Channel for audiences who want variety without a subscription fee.
The expansion adds to the platform’s free streaming offering at a time when viewers are looking closely at what their smart TVs can deliver without extra costs. The Roku Channel continues to lean on an ad-supported model, and this latest update pushes more specialized programming into its live channel lineup.
What the new channels include
Rawhide is described as a continuous Western feed built around trail boss Gil Favor and young ramrod Rowdy Yates, with episodes centered on frontier challenges, rivalries, and survival. The Beverly Hillbillies follows the Clampett family after they move from the countryside to Beverly Hills, with the show’s fish-out-of-water humor driving the format.
Ink Master offers back-to-back competition episodes featuring tattoo artists facing design challenges, elimination rounds, and judge-led evaluations. Toso. o enters as a specialized programming option, while MTV en Español gives Spanish-speaking viewers dedicated access through the platform’s channel guide.
The Roku Channel grows its free offer
The new additions are meant to deepen The Roku Channel’s appeal for viewers who want a broad mix of entertainment without monthly fees. The lineup now spans vintage television, reality competition, and language-specific programming, all within Roku’s free ad-supported framework.
For users who already rely on The Roku Channel, the update adds more reasons to keep browsing the live guide. For new viewers, it offers a clearer picture of how much free content the service is now positioning in one place.
What happens next
The immediate change is simple: the six channels are available now on Roku TVs and Roku streaming players. The broader question is how The Roku Channel will continue shaping its free lineup as more viewers weigh ad-supported services against paid subscriptions. For now, the latest update gives The Roku Channel another push in that competition.
